Chapter 5: Student Council President

"That's awesome! It means everyone has high hopes for you!"

Umaru congratulated Iroha happily.

"You need help to get votes? If that's the case, of course we'll help!"

Mai said as a matter of course.

"Wait a minute, I think it's because you don't want to be the Student Council President."

Shido said with a frown.

"Nani! How did you know, senpai? Can you read minds or something? It's terrifying!"

Iroha looked at Shido with a flustered face. After all, she had never told anyone about this, but it was unexpected that Shido had guessed it.

"No, with your personality, you will definitely find it troublesome to be the Student Council President."

Shido explained with a smile. In fact, the reason why he knew it was because the story of "My Teen Romantic Comedy" was played like this. Iroha was nominated as the Student Council President, and she was the only one nominated; however, she didn't want to take this position. Therefore, she decided to ask the Service's Club for help.

Now, because of Shido, she met everyone in the service club early, and even joined the organization. But even so, the matter of being nominated as the Student Council President had not changed.

"It's true, and it's likely that I'm the only one nominated this time. It's no surprise that I'll be the next Student Council President, but this position is really nothing but trouble and lack of gratitude, not to mention that I will have to spend a lot of time helping students. Even so, they will complain about me because of all kinds of dissatisfaction, and they can't see the fact that I'm only human. Their requirements are too high!"

Iroha said, dissatisfied.

"In other words, are you worried about not doing well?"

Yukino frowned and asked.

"No, but I don't want to be the Student Council President at all!"

Iroha shook her head. Now she just wanted to stay in the service club. That thankless job of the Student Council President was not suitable for her at all.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to just turn it down?"

Umaru asked inexplicably.

"But in this case, my helpful character will collapse. I hope there will be a gorgeous defeat. So, Friendzone Senpai...Why don't you become the Student Council President, and let me become your secretary!?"

Iroha looked at Shido and suggested slyly.

"I'm not interested."

Shido shook his head lightly; he didn't have time to waste at all.

Although the Student Council Presidents in the anime seemed very relaxed, as if they didn't have to do anything and became winners in life because of their status, Shido knew that this was all fake:

After becoming the Student Council President, you will have to deal with student affairs for at least three hours on a daily basis. If you aren't a saint or trying to gain extra college credits, don't run for President!

"Then what should I do? Are you gonna watch me suffer..."

Iroha said in a pitiful voice.

"Don't worry, I will close my eyes."

Shido replied indifferently.

"You are so mean, Friendzone Senpai!"

Iroha said, dissatisfied.

"Is this too mean? I can get worse!"

Shido said with a smile.

"What?"

Iroha asked cautiously.

"For example... running a campaign for you, helping you get votes, and making you the Student Council President or something."

Shido said excitedly.

"Help! I didn't expect senpai to be such a devil!"

Iroha feigned crying.

"So, it's useless for you to ask me for help."

Shido said with a shrug.

Iroha looked at the others, hoping someone else would help.

"Unless you can find someone else to compete for the Student Council President, there is nothing you can do..."

Yukino said calmly.

"Then why don't you run for President?"

Iroha suggested.

"No, I still have activities in the service's club."

Yukino shook her head firmly.

"Isn't this a dead end?"

Iroha laid on the table with a pitiful look on her face.

"Well, running for the student council is not something that can be done so quickly. We can look around to see if there are other people who are interested in running for the election. If there is, we can support that person instead."

Shido thought for a while and then gave his opinion.

"I knew senpai is a good guy!"

Iroha looked at Shido gratefully.

"I really got friendzoned, huh?"

Shido's mood was a little complicated, and he didn't know if he should be happy.

They chatted for a while, discussing the best possible plan: The position of the Student Council President was generally for first- and second-year students, since third-year students would have to prepare for exams, so it was unlikely for them to run for President.

Therefore, they decided to focus on finding people in the first and second grades. Although there were no goals for the time being, there were still many students in their High School. They believed there must be people who were interested in the position of the Student Council President.

In the afternoon, the classes passed by normally, and nothing important happened before the bell rang.

Seeing that it was almost time, Shido took the initiative to leave.

Outside the school gate, Shido saw Kotori, who was clearly dressed up. She had a light blue round neck dress, dark red high heels, and an ornate necklace, which was bought for her by Shido.

As for her ribbons, they were dark black, meaning that she was in her commander mode; after all, it would be necessary for her to be tough in a negotiation.

Although Haruno Yukinoshita said that she only wanted to talk, thinking of her character and personality, Shido had to be a little more cautious.

"Shido, you are too slow!"

Kotori was obviously very unhappy.

"What's wrong?"

Shido asked gently.

"Nothing..."

Kotori shook her head, but she couldn't help but look at a certain classroom.

Her direction was toward the classroom of the Service Club.

Did she see what happened earlier?

"I'll tell you everything, but I don't have anything to do with them, so don't worry!"

Shido said firmly.

"Hmph, who knows..."

Kotori said coldly. In fact, she trusted her brother more than anyone.

"Let me prove it with action."

Before Kotori could react, Shido kissed her on her pink lips…

(2000 years later)

"You sneaky bastard."

Kotori blushed and lowered her head.

"Didn't you feel my deep love?"

Shido said with a light smile.

"Um..."

Kotori turned around, not wanting the other party to see her flushed face, let alone admit how excited she was at this moment.

"If you didn't feel it, then I will have to do it again!"

Shido said with a smirk.

"..."

Kotori didn't reply, but there was actually a bit of anticipation on her cute face.

So, Shido kissed her again…

PS: Tsunderes actually want you to be aggressive, so go for it!
